OCTOBER 14TH, 9:30PM
CONTACT THEATRE, MANCHESTER
Part of Manchester Literature Festival 2011
Produced by Contact and Broken Rose Performing Arts, Flow! is a revolutionary open stage event that will see dancers in close conversation with poets. From its roots in the USA, slam poetry has become a cultural phenomenon, touching the hearts and minds of those involved in the hip hop genre, as well as that of modern literature. Over the years, the lines between this form of performance and other arts have begun to blur. Flow! takes this a step further, allowing the spoken word to entwine itself
with the human body. This event sees a succession of freestyle duets, teaming up poets and dancers to showcase their art forms collaboratively. Each pair will lock, pop, spit and rhyme their way through a spontaneous
set.http://www.brokenrose.eu/

Open Mind Halloween Special
OCTOBER 28TH 2011
AN OUTLET, MANCHESTER
Broken Rose Artistic Director, Gemma Connell, headlines this monthly event with a performance of an extract of “Bitten”, her new play.
Broken Rose Performing Arts (www.brokenrose.eu) is looking for an actress aged between 18 and 25 to play a confident young woman who suffers from Renfield's Syndrome and has in the past been a victim of domestic abuse. The character is an extremely feisty, emotional woman, and the actress will have to hold the audience's constant attention as much of the play surrounds her monologue.
An extract of Bitten will be performed at the Open Mind event in Manchester (website coming soon) on the 28th October 2011.
This is an unpaid position, but one that will give the candidate valuable experience.
To apply, please email an expression of interest, with a photo and recent CV to brokenroseperformance@googlemail.com
